2013 Goals - Progress Has Exceeded 2012

(1) Max out 401k(s) -        $28,327 (80%)  (goal is $35,000)
(2) Max out IRA(s) -         $11,000 (100%)  (goal is $11,000) completed
(3) Add to e/r fund -          $10,400 (104%)   (goal is $10,000) completed
(4) Pay down mortgage -   $5,000 (100%)    (goal is $5,000) completed
(5) Trading account fund - $5,000  (100%)    (goal is $5,000) completed
(6) House projects -          $3,100 (103%)     (goal is $3,000) completed

Total:  $62,827 (91%)

Because I have contributions to our emergency and house fund on automatic transfer, those contributions continued even though we completed those goals.  As a result, our total has nudged past our 2012 total of $62,446.  Of course, we are going to fall short on our 2013 goals due, in large part, to Mr. Sam's layoff.  But, I am happy that we have at least completed 5 out of 6 goals and that we have saved more this year than last year.

Hopefully in 2014, we will save more than in 2013.  And sticking with that theme, I've already put away $800 into our 2014 IRA savings account.
